Myeloid cells expressed genes (CXCL10 and CXCL12) for chemokines as chemoattractants to recruit T cells expressing CXCR4 and/or CXCR3 in T1 and T2 samples, but not in T3 (Figure 5E), which was in accordance with the histological assessment that indicated chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis in T1 and T2 samples (Supplementary Figure S1). This evidence concerns the gene CXCL12 and Hashimoto thyroiditis.
